About this property

Cozy and quiet holidaycottage with private,heatable pool and breathtaking views

Pool can be heated from May 2018 onwards! La Rueda, our cortijo and the cottage we rent, is situated 5km outside Orgiva in a hamlet called Los Agustines, at the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada. This is still a 'living' community of mainly vegetable farmers who till their land below us mostly by hand. Sit in your hammock and watch them. Often one of our lovely neighbours knocks on the door to share his produce with us. Every afternoon some goats with bells around their necks make their way down to the fields, or Paco or Jose go by with their mule. This place really is as idyllic as it sounds! Our cottage is set in its own small garden and is surrounded by lots of lovely colours and smells. If you don't feel like cooking and want to have a relaxing time, let us know and we will prepare you breakfast and/or a lovely surprise dinner menu on one of our charming terraces! Come, relax and enjoy!

An Alternative Spain
After a particularly challenging winter healthwise my wife and I were looking to recuperate and improve our fitness with some gentle mountain hikes, perhaps a vineyard tour and a visit to the Alhambra Palace. Well, we managed the last two but failed miserably with the former! Instead we had the most relaxing and restorative time chilling by the pool, mesmerised by the magnificent mountainous vista, the sounds of simple farming and of running water. Time stopped and we just healed. Naomi prepared us a veritable vegetarian feast on the night of our late arrival - certainly the best meal of our stay - and she and Stefan were wonderfully attentive and informative when required whilst respectful of our privacy at all times. They have created a tranquil idyll in a beautiful setting. Huge thanks Sheenagh & Julian.

Just wonderful!
We had a wonderful week with Stefan and Naomi. We appreciated the nice, warmhearted welcome by the two as well as the cozy apartment and the beautiful garden. The location of the domicile is a good starting point for a variety of activities. For example, we have been hiking a lot, visiting Granada and enjoying the sea at Nerja. We can only recommend the accommodation!

Een prettige vakantieplek
Klein maar fijn. Het huis was schoon bij aankomst. Het uitzicht mooi. Het dorpje Orgiva is 5 kilometer. Het huisje was wel kleiner dan we hadden verwacht. Van een zitkamer is geen sprake. Er is een zitje in het slaapvertrek. Het huisje is gezellig ingericht. Wel misten we een leeslampje boven het bed. Het bed was verder goed. Het hout voor de kachel moet na afloop worden afgerekend. Buiten zijn veel vogels en heerst er rust. Soms hoorden we een landbouwwerktuig of de verderop gelegen steenfabriek. Veel auto's rijden er niet op het smalle weggetje. Deze plek is een goed uitgangspunt voor wandelingen. In het dorp zijn verschillende restaurants waarvan het Marokaanse restaurant erg goed is en niet te duur was. Rond het dorp staan veel heel oude olijfbomen.

How to experience Spain at its best!
We spent a much needed 2 weeks in this beautiful tranquil casita set in the stunning Las Alpujarras region of Southern Spain. If you want a taste of Spanish life this is the place! Close enough to the nearest town of Orgiva to buy all you need for your stay but set in a rural location giving you peace and privacy and total relaxation. The dear little casita is perfect for a couple and set in a most stunning terraced outdoor space with plenty of sun and shade and best of all ..... the most perfect pool with views over the valley. A car is recommended - not just for trips to town but also to explore the heartland of Las Alpujarras and it's typical sleepy white villages dotted throughout the stunning Sierra Nevada mountain range. Stefan and Naomi, the delightful owners, live next door and are on hand to help with anything you might need. If you want real Spain then get booking!!

What can we tell you about us? We, that is Stefan and his wife Naomi and of course the lazy cats Blackey, Tamy and Felix. (He, Austrian, she, British; cats, Spanish) We are all very lucky bums and enjoy every day anew living in this wonderful, wonderful part of the world!
After many years of travelling the world, we happened upon this area and fell in love with it. First we rebuilt La Rueda and then bought another fallen down ruin in the Guajar valley, which we did up into La Cueva, a very special and cozy property.
Come and see for yourself, why we enjoy living here so much!

Why they chose this property

This place is magic and we bought it without thinking long, we just knew that this was it!!
And we never will regret it and are greatful every day anew to be able to live here.
Like one guest wrote in the guestbook:" paradise is only half as nice!"
We are out in the campo, in a little hamlet, with extremely friendly and warm neighbours, who forever knock on the door to share some produce with us!!
Yet we are only 5 ks away from Orgiva, that offers everything we need.
Great place to live and be!

What makes this property unique

La Rueda is a quiet place out in the countryside, surrounded by lots of flowers and trees with all its perfumes.
The private pool will be heated from May 2018 (which will incur a small charge depending on the amount of electricity consumed).
The perfect place to unwind and soak up positive energy!
Sit by the pool at night and stargaze or watch the moon rise or set... just come relax and enjoy!
